Like Facebook, MySpace is a social network. A social network service focuses on building online communities of people who share interests and activities or who are interested in exploring the interests and activities of others. Typically social networking sites allow users to create a profile, share photos, videos, links, etc. and communicate with other members of the network through instant messaging or comments on the user's profile page.
Which social networks you decide to be active on will be a function of where your audience is currently "hanging out" online. Some users gravitate toward MySpace while others are on Facebook.
